thank you. appreciate your response. let me see what lagoscarfix has to offer. all the best.

HOTARIO:


I did a leather replacement job with a guy at Ilasan but I'd score it 70%. He said it was because he had to rush to meet my timeline especially for the front seats (3 days). Leather selected was good, beige colour was near perfect match but the stitch could be better. Some noticeable folds at some edges. Perhaps if I had more time I could have supervised him to get what I want.

On IG, there is @lagoscarfix. I haven't tried them though. You can speak with them and see if they can meet your needs.

There are also some threads here in the Auto section you can look up. Please share feedback when job is done.

Good luck

i recently bought 2010 naija used Pajero manual gear. Issues at the time of purchase indicated worn out clutch disk. getting it replaced at a reputed nairalander's workshop. any leads where to convert fabric seats to leather? otherwise the vehicle is very sturdy and fun to drive. zooms out of any kind of potholes with ease...

Hi, how is your Pajero doing? Got the leather seats fixed?

Hi. Apologies for delayed reply.
I got it done from a guy near air force workshop along agege motor road. Paint job, dash board and seats were done perfectly well. I am really enjoying the vehicle now.
Thanks.

Do you own a Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun, especially from 2007 upwards? Let's connect here to discuss experience, shared thoughts, Mods, maintenance, parts supply/availability, technical support, etc.

I have been an Acura MDX lover (2007 MDX Tech/Ent/Sports package) from 05/2015 to date. Recently found affection for the Pajero/Shogun full size SUV and got a deal on a 2010 model, black on black. My MDX is also 7 seater black on black�

2010 Pajero, one owner from new. 103KM on Odo.

Issues at purchase:
Minimal. Light scratches and cracks in leather seats edges.
One weak ignition coil (No. 5)
One missing fog light chrome
Worn steering wheel leather
Few scuffs and scratches on body and fender. No dents
Faulty brake switches
Broken key fob

Leather repair cream. Small touch fixed leather seats
Ignition coil 5 changed
Fog light chrome fixed
Steering wheel cover installed
Full paint refresh. Oven job

Driving experience?

Awesome. Wifey & the kids have left Acura MDX for me. They are fully on Pajero �.

One bummer though:
Floor under driver side gets hotter than normal especially in heavy traffic. Research on forums finger the Cat Converter. Some people said they fixed theirs by removing the Cat (I'm not sure yet). Will update on this fix.

Overall, I'm loving the Mitsubishi Pajero and looks like it's a keeper for the long haul.

Let's keep this going

I will be looking at a 2011 and 2012 tomorrow. Are there things that I should look out for?

Please I am looking for someone to do am inspection on a 2012 Pajero that I want to buy. Thank you in advance

Oops .

I got the 2013 Pajero. Will need to get new tyres, perform all fluid changes some correction on the fender and I am good to go. Detailing inside and out.

HOTARIO:
Android Head Unit
Engine bay cleanup. The good guys at @sprynxmulti on IG did a great job. No water gunning. Just meticulous detailing.

I have sent them a message. I want them to detail the whole car

1. cost of maintenance?
2. cost of parts
3. ease of getting replacement parts
4. reliability
5. how the suspension performs considering naija roads.


thanks

I did a coolant flush. First with liqui Molly and a 2nd with Prestone. After draining with Liqui Molly. Coolant was still green. Réservoir is reddish. I am running it with Prestone for a few days. Then I will do a 50/50 mix. I also did a engine flush using Liqui Molly engine flush. Drove the Pajero for a few days. I drained it today and it was nasty. Very heavy. I used a Mitsubishi filter and Shell Rotella T6 15W40 oil. It has some powerful detergents and it would help clean the engine. I also added 12 oz of Techron fuel system cleaner to the tank. All this I did myself. Earlier in week I replaced four tyres. General Tyre 265 65 17. I also replaced the air filter. It was very dirty.
Coming up a torn boot and spark plugs.
I use an app My Car to track everything that I do on the car.

There is one 2005 Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5TDI that has been for sale for months now. No buyer.

It seems Mitsubishi is a dying brand in Naija market. I learnt that Mitsubishis are fragile vehicles.

The reason there's no buyer for this is because it's diesel.
Dying brand ke!!! Whoever told u Mitsubishi is fragile is probably hallucinating.
Mitsubishi, especially the Pajero brand is one of the most rugged, durable, tough SUV i have ever driven. As a matter of fact I think the Pajero is even a better SUV than a Toyota Prado.

olumzzz:

It's actually 184 bhp sef.
Even my Honda Accord 3.5L v6 gives me 271 bhp.

Hmmn!! pls which particular Honda Accord is this??

Wrong thinking, Pls rethink again.
There’s a reason why the toyota Prado is very popular in Middle East, Africa, Australia, Eastern Europe etc compared to the Pajero.

I still disagree sir!!!
After using my Pajero for close to 10yrs (1995/96 model) I can confidently beat my chest and tell u there's no desert it can't cross.
That car was specially built for off road adventures and boy I did have alot of off road experiences with that baby.
As far as I'm concerned the Pajero can go anywhere the Prado can and can't go

Lol. No need arguing. Try advertising your PAJERO to ISIS, Al-Qaeda, ISWAP, ISIL, Rebel fighters etc

Well Thats not my job and their opinion(s) is not "the standard"

dannydevito:
would this serve well as a knockabout for someone into construction
would there be any issue to look out for

This car is one die hard of a vehicle.
I used a 2door manual Pajero of this exact model and that car gave me driving experiences I will never forget.
I will advise u go for it but just make sure the engine and gear box are in great shape, you won't regret it.

The annual global sales figures and reliability rankings are also worth noting!

The person I bought the Pajero from also had a Prado. Guess what they liked the Pajero more

Please give us your source. They have kept the same platform for a while. The people who own them around the world are obsessed by them.

Very high bar. So terrorists are now car experts.

Toyota builds some incredible vehicles. I am not sure we should be making comparisons. However the Pajero has won the Paris Dakar race more than the Toyota. The 4WD systems in the Mitsubishi is very impressive. If compared to a Toyota of similar engine power the Mitsubishi does very well.

3.5l V6. Good power

Who does your repairs. I need the upper tie rod boot replaced.
